Twisted Metal TV show on the way from PlayStation Productions

It turns out that PlayStation Productions - the newly created studio creating film and screen adaptations of your favorite Sony games - is already at work on a Twisted Metal TV show. The reveal came as Sony Pictures Entertainment chairman and CEO Tony Vinciquerra spoke to investors at a special event.

"We'll be working more closely with our colleagues at PlayStation through a new production team they have established on the studio lot to move forward on filming television projects based on gaming IP," he said during his presentation

"We have a TV show we just agreed to get underway that will be developed from IP on PlayStation, it's called Twisted Metal. It's a game that was put out many years ago and we're going to develop a TV series out of that."

He also mentioned the Uncharted adaptation - which will reportedly star Tom Holland - and described it as in "advanced development for a film." 

Twisted Metal was first released in 1995 and had players fighting to the death using various weaponised vehicles. David Jaffe - who would later go on to make the original God of War - was one of the designers, and has already offered to help out on the show. 

It sounds like it's early days on the project but if Sony are confident enough to tell investors about it then it's a done deal. Need something to watch while you wait? Luckily we have the 10 best video game movies of all time picked out for you.
